Blogging, Self, Writing Prompts

Question of the Day – No. 301 And Word of the Day Challenge — envision

When was the last time you left your comfort zone and how did you do it?

Your comfort zone is a place of stagnation. It is somewhere you live and eat and sleep without any change.

Staying in your comfort zone prevents you from growing as a person. If you are too satisfied with your lot in life you cannot envision progress.

The last time that I stepped out of my comfort zone was when I launched my blog a year ago. I had no social media or computer experience. I wasn’t on Facebook or Pinterest or Twitter or any of those weird sounding social media platforms. So how was I going to manage?

Once I took the plunge, things kept getting easier. My daughter helped with the computer work. A friend who made a WordPress account just to read my posts started blogging herself and soon became much more successful than I. Having a friend to share my blogging experience became a valuable asset.

Once you move out of your comfort some, nothing is difficult and everything is possible.

  1. Absolutely right. It’s the fear of failure that binds us to the familiar. Step out and you will discover that the world outside is full of potential. A great post. 👍

  4. My first was WP-no social media skills. My second was back in December, I went to our community center on a day for arts-where people get together and do their own thing. If you have questions, they can give advice. So I’m improving in my (beginner) painting skills and making a few friends. Glad I took the plunge on both!

  6. I wrote 3 consecutive posts on my blog in August and September 2018 about this, why we hesitate, our fears. I threw myself into publishing my own books with no money and no experience to back me in media (this was scary and so difficult). I have done it mostly by myself with some wonderful help by friends at times, and am still learning but at my age I am doing it. I’ve had to balance learning with life but it is possible. Love your ideas and my blog has some similar discussions although at times I do promote my books but generally the blog title will say so but even that I will tie into life. I am about encouraging and supporting others to take the leap. Great Post.
